‘My Father Will Die Soon’: Middle-class Man’s Desperate Plea for Dad’s Urgent Medical Care Goes Viral

Ever seen or been in that middle-class family entangled in the web of life, juggling the complexities of a loved one’s lingering illness? Their days are a relentless run between hospitals, chemists, laboratories, and a slew of uncertainties—a real-life drama that mirrors the ceaseless saga of filing a court case, with no end in sight. This grim reality was recently brought to life in a gripping post on the micro-blogging site ‘X,’ where a middle-class man, Pallav Singh, laid bare the heart-wrenching tale of his father’s deteriorating health, a chilling consequence of the lack of ‘urgency’ in the medical care system. In the now-viral post, Pallav began by stating, “My father will die, soon or very soon.

Yes, I know what I am saying. I am writing this while standing in a queue at AIIMS Delhi. ” He proceeded to narrate the ongoing struggles in his life, disclosing that his father had suffered a heart attack in September and had been shuttled between Gorakhpur (his hometown Deoria) and Delhi for advanced treatment after being diagnosed with blockages in three arteries and only 20% heart functioning.

After a while, we realise disease is very serious and needed urgent surgery.

Then why did not Dr refer him to a surgeon? No idea. Roamed in private hospitals for 45 days and realised getting surgery done privately will lead us to sell all what we have, if not house,” Pallav lamented, describing their 45-day quest in private hospitals, realising that opting for private surgery would mean selling their possessions if not their house. Returning to AIIMS, they encountered the doctor, back from leave, who advised them to ‘wait’ again.

Pallav expressed, “What next? Waiting here and Monday it is. No idea if he’ll be here. Honestly speaking, I have no complaints with him.

Saddened to see what a mess is the situation once you get medically ill. ” “My father, a diabetic patient on insulin, aged 52with heart function at 20%, will need to wait for at least 13 months to get his surgery done. Yes 13 months.

And not in free, but by paying at least a lakh rupees. ” Amidst the turmoil, Pallav sprinkled some words of wisdom and a dash of hope. “I don’t know what will happen next.

No idea if Papa will live for a year or a month or a week. No idea Maa will live for a couple of years. But I will have to exist.

Because I lack the courage to give up this life. I don’t know why. ” And then came the heart-wrenching plea, “Every night, with my father lying beside me on the bed, I pray, that some help comes and he gets better treatment and that too on time.

I have no idea of what sort, but I need help. ” True to the nature of the internet, his post became a sensation, racking up over 5 million views, and the cavalry of support, including offers from doctors, rode in. The online community rallied, determined to make it work for Pallav’s father, whether through doctor contacts or financial aid.
